Frightening OH Wood River. The
Minnie Moore still continues our
heaviest shipper, with a new ore. body
in sight. The Relief, which adjoins,
promises to come to the front in the
same line next spling. The Queen
of the Hills will soon resume ship
ments. The Ida May promises to
ship regularly as soon as spring opens.
This at and around Bellevue.
At Bullion the Idaho jgs are about
repaired, and shipments will doubtless
be resumed soon. The Red Elephant
group promises a mine that will ship
all winter. Work is to be resumed
on good scale in the MayAower,
while the Durango tunnel seems to be
likely to strike ore soon.
On Deer Creek the Nav Aug com
pany will prospect all winter, with
almost certainty Of striking the con-
tinuation Of the ore-body in sight IN
the bottom of their upper workings.
The tunnel will doubtless be in to the
ledge by March or April.
The Champion Mining Company's
mill is fair success, but the COM
pany's NINE, the Walla Walla, is
showing a good vein of high-grade
solid galena ore which may greatly
enhance its value.
The Cyclops and Red Cloud are
proving very valuable; the owners of
the Red Cloud alone having refused
100000 at 80 days, offered them by
Mr.. Venable some weeks ago. The
French Boys group, adjoining, will
be opened and we'll exploited. as the
litigation over the estates of the de.
ceased owners will soon be ended.
The Montana and Snow Fly do not
look very encouragingly, but the com
psny owning them has ample means
to prospect and must find a paying
mine there, in time. The Emery, at
the head of Deer Creek, is mine.
On the East Fork of Wood River,
the North Star and Ans rican Eagle
continues to be good yielding prop.
erty. The Triumph group shows
perfect mountain of concentrating ore
mixed with stringers of galeua The
Venus is comm. to the front with
high-grade ore. The Pride of Idaho
is about to be sold for $4,000; and
several other claims show ore.
In the adjoining Parker or klkhorn
gulch the Anxious is a steady producer
OF high-grade ere. The Parker is
again showing some ore, with every
evidence of the proximity of another
bonanza. The Quaker City group
one of the Jenuey-Watt Allen-Clar
syndicate properties-is also soon to
be heard from. And the Elkhorn is
such fertile property that it must
soon yield again. The Baltimore
Victoria group has bonanza in sight,
but, unfortunately, it must remain idle
while the estate Of one Of the deceased
owners is being settled.
On Boulder Creek the Ophir, Yankee
Blade, and other claims have already
yielded ore in quantities, and the
district will make a good showing
next year.
In Smoky the big galena mines of
this region, it is evident, will be
found. The Carrie Leonard probably
shipped a quarter million dollars
worth of ore, this year, with greater
quantity in sight now than at any
time heretofore. The King of the
West shows over 100000 worth Of
ore, and gets better with depth. A
concentrator will infallibly be put in
here next spring. The Galore, Stormy
group continues to yield, with more
ore in sight, and will be worked all
winter. The Tyrannis is proving a
mine, though rather low in grade.
Tie Silver Star mill has just started
up, with every probability of yielding
carload Of concentrates per day.
And several other properties are show
ing ore.
The Gold Belt is more promising
now than at any former period in its
history. The Camas No. 2 Company
have the refusal of large sum in
cash for their property. Senator

enterprising mllionaires of California
